Thomas Oye (born 1970) is a Norwegian-born investor, (stock broker), and investment banker. He was originally a soprano singer and choir boy in St. Johannes Guttene which was considered the Kings Choir in his early days. He quickly started his career as a lexica sales man and media early described him the top sales man before he was recruited to Coca Cola company very young. He was after his education with NHHK recruited to Norse Securities (later sold to Kaupating Bank) as a stock broker only 22 years of age. He was rapidly considered the most successful broker and moved later into OTC listed companies that was considered higher volatility and risk. Thomas Oye was one of the largest player in the Norwegian non-listed equity market companies and made a fortune early on, but later played a key role in his downfall as most of the equities was placed in the .com and IT market that in the middle of 2000 experienced a total collapse. This brought Oye down and subsequently led to this bankruptcy in 2002 and by many concidered one of the largest personal bankruptcies at the time. However, Oye left Norway in 2002 to Dubai (Arab Emirates) and started over again and did what media, the Norwegian police and creditors never thought would happen, he bought his whole entire bankruptcy back. This led to lots of speculation over his sources of income and to whom he used as his rescuer. Oye was many times considered in the media as the man with the nine lives that never gave up and today he is many years later well established in Dubai as successful investor and been linked to the major sheikh family in Dubai. Oye has been by many pronounced as very controversial and sharp business man with an edge to convince even the most difficult people and a true survivor. Oye today partly own and run his own investment company in Dubai regulated under the economic department(http://www.dubai.ae/en/Lists/GovernmentDepartments/DispForm.aspx?ID=3&category=Government).
